“There
are no traffic jams along the extra mile.”
- Roger
Staubach
Just
how come there are no traffic jams along the extra mile? It’s because not
many people are traveling the extra mile. They’re not traveling the extra
mile because they’re not willing to put forth the extra time and effort to
travel the extra mile. Instead, they settle for taking the same old route
everyday, yet complain about the traffic jams they encounter. Just
like getting stuck in a traffic jam, they get stuck in life. Getting
stuck in a traffic jam is no fun and getting stuck in life is even worse.
If you’re willing to travel the extra mile, keep in mind that initially you’ll likely discover adversity, fear, and disappointment. However, if you continue with your course, adversity will give way to opportunity, fear will give way to faith, and disappointment will give way to satisfaction. Keep in mind, when you arrive at the end of the extra mile you’ll find success. You can’t travel the extra mile and not arrive at: Destination Success! Remember, regardless of your outcome(s), when you arrive you’ll be successful. True success is not measured by outcomes; it’s measured by the person one becomes because of the process.
There is a reason why there are no traffic jams along the extra mile. There just aren’t enough people willing to travel it. When someone is willing to travel the extra mile while others are not, it says something about that person. It tells me that they are in the process of becoming a better person. You can’t come face to face with fear and overcome adversity and disappointment and not become a better person in the process. So remember this as you embark upon the extra mile, you can’t travel its course and not end up in a better place!
